Hi Stephan

If gump does go fubar then we would need to find an alternate means to supp=
ly build.sysclasspath to quote Ant folk
"In Ant's case        Gump set's Ant's build.sysclasspath to only and manag=
es the system classpath"

the fact that it builds APR (which is a dependency of Apache HTTPD) seems t=
o justify its existence

this little snippet from the gump website gives me the willies
It is written in Python=20
*which means we would need more than a passing familiarity with makefiles=
=2C gcc and ld *
=20
2 years ago i worked at a site which did alot of python  programming and th=
e 'object' file was compiled as pyc
(python component)
i remember python version checking was non-existent and if you had the wron=
g version of pyc on your path
it would take you days before you would be able to =20
find the correct version source
find the gcc compiler that would compile it
link it to correct pyc format
 and then stick it on your path

Am i the only advocate to converting gump to java?
